Different project teams from the field of research and economy have developed new approaches to these topics in the former two years. Here should an extensive monitoring concept enable the validation of the results by control and analysis of the operation of the construction. In the current project phase the integration of the found results in the construction of the demonstrator appears on the agenda. The mounting of the primary structure of the roof is planned for the summer of 2019. In springtime 2020 the final completion of testbed is scheduled. The design of the prototype happens in a close coordination with the Korean architect and AR engineers who take over a consulting function within the scope of the research project. Because of the special site conditions the technical solution of testbed contains both a rail based and a rope based moving concept. Moreover the different driving axes have strong varying total lengths which have to be controlled by a sophisticated control system. The structural analysis of the Testbed system has been executed by the Korean engineering office with the software SOFISTIK. The Validation of the results happens in a successive way by AR engineers. The coordination occurs within the scope of internal conferences and workshops which take place with participation of AR engineers both in South Korea and in Germany. For the realization of the testbed project for the planning of the moving concept a high qualified Korean company from the field of ropeways and coasters is participated. The different moving concepts have been tested in the company workshop with a 1:1 mockup. The actuation will be fully implemented with the necessary sensors in order to enable a far reached controlled operation of the roof. These sensors constitute the basic equipment for the monitoring.

Durable materials and robust construction standards can reduce maintenance costs and extend the economic viability of a building or structure 1 . Thinking to circularity in the built environment means to ensure maximum end-of-life material reuse or recycling by separation of components, especially if the life span is short, as happened for the textile temporary architectures. The use of repurposed materials, components and structures supports their circulation within the industry and minimises the need for virgin materials. And when the issue of waste is examined as a result of architectural design, it is possible to establish where and how the architect can contribute to the solution of these challenges. The paper objectives are, at first, to propose a comprehensive picture of design strategies to be adopted prior to the construction of temporary textile architecture, along with the processes endured at the end of the life cycle, aiming to reduce the environmental impacts. Secondary, a potential classification of the membrane materials and short life span projects 2 is established to evaluate the state of the art in terms of end of life scenarios and possible virtuous remanufacturing approaches. Finally, a deepen comparison regarding the existing Environmental Products Declarations of textiles membranes for architectures is carried out in order to understand the available information for the design choices from the designers point of view. By the proposed analysis the outcomes underline how the reasons for the limited diffusion of recycling procedures and even the lack of running plants mainly stand by their costs. Users are often unaware of the economic advantages of reuse and recycle, given that the savings are too delayed in time to be properly assessed. Nevertheless, this value is more appreciated when it comes to projects of greater impacts.","PeriodicalId":395358,"journal":{"name":"10th edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134449327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of them are signature projects for the clients as well as for consultants and construction companies. It is this signature nature of such projects that makes consultants and specialist contractors push the limits of construction beyond what has been done before. It is the architect’s target to become nearly invisible and the engineer’s dream to become lighter and yet even stronger. Before but even faster after millenium the art of lightweight structures has taken amazing steps with each project, mostly done with structural membranes. Envisaging a most flexible and multi-purposable destination, clients have added one more demand to the script of stadia envelopes and roofs: Be retractable! Lightweight, wide-spanning, retractable: this is structural membrane in motion! The intriguing design of Al Janoub stadium in Qatar includes such a retractable roof. It is a unique combination of structural cables and structural membrane in motion. Consisting of two halves that are closing in onto a central girder this retractable roof has a surface area of 12,000 sqm, 129,000 sqft respectively. The combination of a cable structure with membrane and its widening geometry of the roof created challenges for the drive system never faced before. 50 grid lines are arranged in “V” shape by valley and ridge cables. At the circumference of this roof the trolleys of the drive system have to travel on rails not being straight but slightly arched. Different lengths, different levels, different slopes, changing distances between the grid lines: how more complicated can a retractable roof get? This one needed an advanced driving system with maximum control flexibility, to move the membrane smoothly and tension it correctly. The presentation will give an inside view on the path of elaborate engineering and design-tuning that has been travelled to bring the project to a success.","PeriodicalId":395358,"journal":{"name":"10th edition of the conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures","volume":"394 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116202951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
